Keeping in mind that readers' reviews tend to be how the story struck them at the time plus their expectations, fulfilled or not: I was less disappointed how this series played out than I anticipated. The main theme with the first three books in The Meditor series developed in an unexpectedly different romance trajectory.

The author appeared to change to a girl-adventurer-to-the-rescue theme, winding up the narrative with a neat bow. Series fans will know that the MC's romance turns out to be as foreshadowed in Books 4 and 5, so I guess the happily-ever-after trope fit right in.

What seemed unnatural was the evolution of Paul from a rather nasty piece of work to empathy and helpfulness, losing the "it's all about me" mentality. The flatlined ‘mediator’ persona was more focussed on reanimating Jesse, but my lack of interest by this point reached a ‘yeah, okay, whatever’ outlook. Despite this sentiment, I suspect that the younger YA audience will be happy. And one thing comes across for sure, Meg Cabot does write a good adventure with unique characters. ( )

I like these books ok but not nearly as much as when I was a teenager. Also as an adult I find the age gap between the protagonist and her love interest much more questionable. ( )

Awesome!! Suze is totally not very morale. But, this is what makes her a believable character. She doesn't instantly gives up Jesse but gradually realises that she loves him so much that she can't let him die and live as a ghost. It's not at all selfish, it's just natural. Almost every human being might find it difficult in the position Suze was. So, I just love her character which does not pretend to what she is not. She is selfish and I don't think there is any thing wrong in being selfish than to pretend being all self-rightous. At least her character realises what's best eventually. It's a good kind of character development.
Besides, everything ended fine. So, Cheers!! ( )

This series morphed me into a hyperactive teenage fangirl. ( )

Paul is going to travel back through time (shifters can, which means Suze can, but it's draining and will eventually kill) to stop Jesse from being killed. Suze knows it's because he doesn't want her to have ever met Jesse (he's eliminating the competition) but everyone else, including Father Dom, thinks it's a wonderful act to give Jesse the life he should have had. They both end up back in Jesse's time, and it turns out Paul was making a pre-emptive strike, or so he thought. He though Suze would remove the spirit from his body and put Jesse's into it (another shifter thing) so he thought he could only save himself by saving Jesse.

There's a happily ever after in this book, one that leaves them all in a good place after the series ends. The only problem is it's one I don't so much care about because it was too pat, too easy. ( )
